Amsterdam is served mainly by Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), a major international hub that typically handles most long-haul and European services and attracts full-service carriers alongside several low-cost and regional airlines. Schiphol sits about 17 km southwest of the city center and is usually reachable by a direct train in roughly 15–20 minutes (train fares commonly fall in the modest range), while taxis and rideshares can take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. The airport offers extensive transfer and shopping facilities and frequent public transport connections, making it convenient for transit passengers; downsides can include busy terminals and occasional queues at peak times. For budget-focused travelers, some secondary regional airports can be used for low-cost services, though they are less central and may require longer surface transfers.

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is New York’s largest international gateway and typically serves long‑haul and premium carriers alongside major U.S. airlines. Located about 15–18 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan, it can take 35–75 minutes to reach the city by taxi depending on traffic; ride‑share or yellow cab fares are commonly higher than public transit. The AirTrain links passengers to the subway and Long Island Rail Road (30–60 minutes, fares in the lower-price local transit range), while numerous shuttles and private transfers are available. Pros: broad international connectivity and extensive amenities; cons: busy terminals and variable journey times to the city. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) functions primarily as a domestic and short‑haul hub, often favored by budget and business travelers for its proximity to Manhattan. Sitting roughly 8 miles from Midtown, travel times are typically 15–35 minutes by taxi or rideshare outside peak congestion; public bus and subway connections can be cheaper but slower, generally taking 30–60 minutes with low single‑fare transit costs. LaGuardia is usually perceived as more convenient for short hops but can be crowded and has fewer long‑haul options and amenities compared with the larger international airports. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), located in New Jersey about 16–20 miles southwest of Midtown Manhattan, often serves as a major international and transcontinental hub with a strong presence of both legacy and international carriers. Ground transport includes NJ Transit and Amtrak to Penn Station (approximately 20–35 minutes from the airport to Manhattan via train connection, moderate fares), the AirTrain plus rail links, taxis and rideshares (30–60 minutes depending on traffic). Advantages include frequent long‑haul services and competitive fares; drawbacks can include cross‑state travel logistics and variable commute times into Manhattan.
